But how do you get this voodoo magic to the unwashed masses, and the PHBs? It really needs to be in every browser. What SVG needs for it to start gaining momentum is a user base. Imagine if 6% of browsers in use already (FF's share) could display SVG without any extensions or plugins. People would actually start putting content onto their sites. Maybe not completely; but a server could check for "Accept: image/svg+xml", and for those lucky people show a detailed SVG rather than a crappy bitmap. More content, more browsers; more browsers, more content. Bob

shortcuts do not work on canvas with Russian layout
by Artemio 23 Mar '05

23 Mar '05

Hello all! Long time, no write ;-) Still, I can't get the shortcuts to work with Russian layout, but now I noticed the following: they do work for main menu and in other places (like in text editor), but they do not work on the canvas. I am using last week's cvs built from source. So, say if I select an object, I can press Alt + E, C - this will follow to the Edit menu and copy an object. I can trigger and browse any menu like this Russian layout. In text editor, I can copy/cut/paste text (Ctrl + ...), apply/close (), etc. But on canvas, none of the modifier keys work (and, thus, shortcuts do not work either). I remember that this problem exists since last spring, and I had 3 different systems (and, thus, libraries configurations) since then. Artemio.

Inkscape 0.41 autopackage
by Mike Hearn 23 Mar '05

23 Mar '05

Hi, I rebuilt this against autopackage 1.0 which provides misc bugfixes and improvements. After this point you generally won't have to rebuild packages to get improvements but 1.0 is the first API stable release so it's necessary. The new package can be found here: http://navi.cx/~mike/inkscape/inkscape-0.41-2.x86.package Could the one on SourceForge please be replaced? Also I noticed the current package is corrupt on switch at least, so it'll give the mirrors a chance to get non-truncated packages. thanks -mike

EYE DROPPER: Added some buttons and Copy Color as HEX
by Jon Phillips 23 Mar '05

23 Mar '05

Hello everyone, I thought I would pull a Bulia and drop some features. When doing web design and pre-layout, I found it annoying that I could'nt get the hex value of colors, so I added a "Copy as Hex" button when using the eye dropper to get a color value. This way, one can quickly paste that into whatever web page they are working on...In the meantime I did a few other tasks. There are a few things still necessary to be done, but I wanted to report as I can't spend anymore time on it right now...I need to make some money... Made controls for Eye Dropper available on the auxiliary toolbar. * Added entry boxes for hex values of last selected color and opacity. * Added "Copy as RGBA" button that copies last selected color as RGBA value to the clipboard * Added "Copy as HEX" button that copies the last selected color as a HEX value (useful for web work where hex values are needed) * Added toggle switch option to select current color as visible on screen without alpha. When not toggled, then the current color and opacity as represented with alpha becomes the stored desktop value. * Removed the aforementioend option from the application preferences menu, as it is now available via the dropper auxiliary toolbar. What still needs to be done: 1.) I made an icon for the toggled value for Picking a color, I think called "pick_color" in icons.svg. I couldn't come up with a good one, so maybe someone could come up with a better icon to replace the crappy one I did for the toggle button. 2.) I need to fix HEX values that are copied when the option to pick color with alpha is selected. I know how to fix, but just don't have time right now to do...it is a simple thing...but I'm slow right now. 3.) I'm sure there are some things I missed since I did this quickly. Please email/fix/post bugs about... Thanks, Jon

Re Path Splitting?
by Erik 22 Mar '05

22 Mar '05

OK. 1. Open Inkscape. 2. Draw a short Freehand path. 3. Choose one of middle nodes. 4a. Break path at selected node or 4b. Split path between two non end-point nodes. Intuitively I would think that the result should be two or more separate paths? However, the result seems to be two or more sub-paths within the original path. Is this a bug or is it meant to behave like this? If it is meant then how do I get the sub-paths to be separate? Probably a simple explanation so I'd like to hear it. Erik Forgot to mention I'm using Win2K and build 1:14 of 22 March.

Inkscape website with WordPress
by Jonathan Leighton 21 Mar '05

21 Mar '05

Ok, I've finished making an example of doing the Inkscape news with WordPress. Please navigate to http://inkscape.turnipspatch.com/ and have a look. If you want to try out the admin, then go to http://inkscape.turnipspatch.com/wp-admin/. The us.erna.me and pa.ssw.ord is "Test" and "inkscape" respectively. This username has full access privileges -- I might have a change that if abuse becomes a problem, but I don't think the people on this list would be the ones to do that so we'll see how it goes. Let me know of any opinions you have, whether you think it's a good/better solution etc. Jon PS. I decided not to create a "theme" for Inkscape as this would mess up interoperability with the non-WordPress part of the website, and also make it hard for people not familiar with WP to know what to do when editing pages. -- Jonathan Leighton aka.
